You're absolutely right, it is not a debate against anyone's person but a debate against understanding, or lack of it. Since this is becoming nasty, I'm going to move on from this "1 kilogram" discussion and turn my attention to an earlier question raised about the mass of atoms in space at 1 z distance. Later.
